Sutton Area Guide

Incorporated into Greater London in 1965, but with references in the Doomsday Book circa 1086, Sutton is a thriving suburban town with great outdoor spaces and parks, sought after school places, strong transport links to central London and a healthy restaurant and night life. Residents can benefit from a diverse high street, currently undergoing major redevelopment, alongside a wealth of activities for all ages.

Sutton has a large cinema, independent theatre, library with adult learning centre and some of the lowest levels of crime in Greater London teamed with being among the top performing authorities for education in the country. In 2011 Sutton was the top performing borough for GCSE results in England..

The Sutton branch of Brasserie Vacherin makes up part of the French food group run by award winning chef Malcolm John offering a seasonal bistro menu. The atmosphere is suitably relaxed and perfect for an upmarket brunch or evening dinner for two. Definitely worth a visit.
